I have to say that my heart is shocked after finishing the three books completely. I see film critics unanimously denouncing that there is no labyrinth, no depth, and the filming is too much. I don't know what the film is expressing. I think it may be that everyone has not watched the film well. I think most of them are just picked out and watched, so there is no concept at all.
At the beginning of the first plot, everyone was put into the maze, which was the beginning, and the reason was to study these special "immune people". The male protagonist Thomas was put in. I think it's not just because he wanted to save his friends. Obviously he had given up at the time. It was better to see his friends live in front of him than to die. The antidote research is still far away, at that time. He was desperate, he no longer believed that an antidote could be developed, so since there was no cure, the more important thing was to rescue everyone. At the same time, I think Dr. may also find that the blood on Thomas is different, so he combined the two and went in. The next series to the second part is about how to escape, with little progress, only transition, until the third part. The last heroine of the second part, Teresa, "betrayed" her friends. In order to save all mankind, she chose to sacrifice a generation, even though these people are her friends.
I fully understand Teresa, if it were me, a medical staff member, I might also be confused, overwhelmed, and even "betrayed". I believe that her heart is struggling and helpless, that's why she betrays her friends, and at the same time she helps them in to save, so she allows the situation to develop in both directions. Because she didn't want to hurt her friends, but if she wanted to save the world, she had to hurt her, she had no choice.
How ridiculous, this world gave the earth a devastating virus, and the only way to survive is to completely extract human blood and then extract serum from it, research without direction and path, and finally focus on a few teenage children. .
In fact, I don't quite understand why the final hero is Thomas, but it makes sense. People in this world are blind, they only see that they are blocked outside the high fence, and there is no way to survive, so if they can't get in, they don't live. Of course, I can't blame them for helplessly finding a way out in a world full of viruses.
I don't want to judge Dr., she is cruel and kind, she ordered all the children to be captured, and let them live, to ensure that no one suffers at all during the experiment, and she even stayed in the laboratory building when everyone fled middle.
In the third part, Dr. had a word with Johnson during a break, and the virus had spread through the air, and within a month, everyone here would be infected.
To put it simply, in fact, it is difficult for people in the fence to judge right or wrong. Even if Thomas and the others rescued the 28 "immune", they would still die in the end. So Teresa was working on an antidote at the last minute, and luckily, she made it.
In the end, Teresa put Thomas on the plane. She obviously had a chance to escape, but she hesitated, because she was ashamed, she had no face to face, and now she has found the antidote, which is what she wanted, so she chose to stay. Down, fell a little from the destroyed high-rise building, watching the good friends on the plane drift away from her little by little...
At the end, the "right branch" remnants and all the rescued people are placed in a "Xanadu", they think they have succeeded, and they will live in peace with their relatives and partners for the rest of their lives. The camera cuts across "Teresa" carved into the stone, ending with the serum in Thomas' hands.
In fact, how many wars are hidden at the end of the film. In this world where the virus can already be spread through the air, on that day in the future, one of my relatives and friends suddenly became a "zombie", what a panic. And everyone doesn't know that this day will come, of course they don't have to panic, because the antidote is by their side - Thomas, and this is the result of Teresa, WCKD, who they regard as an enemy and have been forgotten by the crowd.
So the film ends up directly echoing the first one
“Wicked is good”
"Evil is righteous"
